Pexto Tools

I found some Pexto tools at a flea market yesterday. I have never heard of them but they were $1 each so I bought them. From what I’ve researched they were known as being cheap tinmaking tools at the turn of the century but are now considered being better than most foreign made tools. Does anyone have any experience with them?

They were one of the oldest mfg companies in the town where I was raised and had long been the town's largest employer. The factory is no longer there.

I was able to date my tools before 1947 when they changed the logo.

I've never heard of them, but I think the price was more than fair.

I thought so too. At $1 each I could buy the and never use them.

I have a couple of their older woodworking chisels. Good steel.
